I too think git (and github) are great for open source.

Github provides an API for their ticket system, so a script can be made to do the transfer, if desired. I haven't used it extensively, so I'm not sure if it has all the features that we need. How about we move the source to github this week and evaluate what to do with tickets and wiki? I don't think we need the news section anymore, since Twitter can easily replace that. Jon
